    You were my best friend and my love. I will cherish all of the good times we shared together.

    IF TEARS COULD BUILD A STAIRWAY

    If tears could build a stairway, and memories a lane
    I would walk right up to heaven, and bring you back again.

    No farewell words were spoken, no time to say “goodbye”,
    You were gone before I knew it, and only God knows why.

    My heart still aches with sadness, and secret tears still flow.
    What it meant to love you, no one will ever know.

    But now I know, you would want me to mourn for you, no more.
    To remember all the happy times, life still has much in store.

    Since you”ll never be forgotten, I pledge to you today-
    A hollowed place within my heart, is where you’ll always stay.

    -author unknown-

    Rest In Peace, my love.

    I’ve known John For about 40 years!!
    I’m shocked that his life has ended this soon!
    He definitely had many stories to tell, but had many jokes to follow!
    Those that knew him well, know that he was full of life!!
    He was one entertaining man to listen to!!
    And that it definitely a compliment to sum up what type of man he was!!
    He will be missed by his family and friends…
    RIP John Haney!!!

    Irwinkle ( as I called him) was such a huge part of my life, starting when I was just a teen hanging up the T . He was the one person I always looked for when I was hanging out in Quincy, as his smile used to make me feel like I was home again. Words can’t describe how much I will miss him .. today , tomorrow and forever.
